Hope Means Nevada (HMN), the community-based non-profit focused on eliminating youth suicide in the state and inspiring a culture of empathy and advocacy around mental health, announces the return of “Hope in Action,” an annual community volunteer action and mental wellness event.
Taking place at the Valerie Pida Plaza on the University of Nevada, Las Vegas campus, this year’s event promises to deliver double the volunteer activities. In addition, attendees will be invited to walk a 5K to elevate the conversation around mental and physical health through movement and connection.
The event is Saturday, November 23, 2024 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Valerie Pida Plaza, UNLV, 4504 S Maryland Parkway. Additional details at https://hopemeansnevada.org
The event recognizes the fact that doing good for others is an effective way to boost mood and improve overall mental wellness.
As the only non-profit in Nevada dedicated solely to the intervention and prevention of teen suicide by leveraging the power of communication and peer-to-peer connection, HMN invites teens as well as their friends and families to join in this group volunteer event benefiting an array of community charitable organizations. In addition to painting Hope Rocks with uplifting messages of hope to distribute throughout the community, participants will perform service projects for local nonprofits. Attendees can gather to make food kits for low income members of the community and build hygiene kits for those experiencing homelessness.
Lastly, a variety of community mental health organizations will be on hand with booths offering information related to the services they offer. Attendees will be encouraged to explore these available resources during the event.
